the Idea* brought out in an address
at the court house last night by Dr.
SuMon E. Griggs, of Memphis, Tenn.,
who is attending the colored Baptist
?onvsntlon which , la bolng held I a
this city. The sdtfreee was made
ipon special request aad was listen
ed to by aa attentive and apprecia
te audience of both nsgro and white
tersons. That Or. Griggs' -words
made* a favorable and distinct ex
pression, was proven by the unani
mous approval and praise which
-tasssd from mouth to mouth upon
he conclusion of the address.
"What 1 desire to talk about to

'.he speaker. "is ths Newest Negr^*
?not the ante-bellum negro, ei<th<s

but the negro of today ; what he hai

people understand him and his way
'ie also realises that slkvery . was
not the. real oaose of the Civil war
ay the difference In economic eon
lltlons. The North was a manufac
urlng district, the South was do'
oted- to agriculture. In order to
st a good profit out of their manu
actures. the North set a hl/h tar
K upon all Imports from forrign
oun tries, so that the 3r>uth would
e forced to make their purchase*
rom northern merchants. It 'was
n revolt of this practice that really
tused the South to cscede and that
nuscd the -North to objoct ao stren
lously. The latter did not want to
o83 the great trading territory of
he Southland and did not want to
Ueet foreign competition. You say
?jat the deatre to abolish elavsry
>ss what etartod the struggle? Why
i Boston and Other cities, Ihey
.ragged men through the streets,
rbo urged freedom for the negro.
"The negro of today also , realise*
hat he obtained considerable bSne

davery bero. la the flist place. It
sas slavery that brought him t<>
?bis country; tbpf made him so
qualnted with the Bogllsh language,

WOULD VIOLATE NEUTRALITY
? - <
Washington. Aug. 6. ? The Ameri
can reply to Austria-Hungary's re
cent diplomatic note suggesting an
embargo on war export! to tfee allies
on the ground that the traffld -ha*
grows -ta
[American neutrality, practically has
been nUrhed by the State Depart
ment and will be dispatched to
Vienna shortly.
The note reiterates the position of
the United Statea, as expressed to
Count BerftatOff, the German am
bassador, that "the placing of an
embargo on the trade In arms at
this time would ? ? ? be a direct vio
lation of the neutrality of the United
States." .
' Austria's contention that /a neu
tral government Is not permitted to
allow unhindered trado In contra
band of war It this trade assume?
such a character or proportions that ;
the neutrality of the country la!
thereby impaired" is declared in the
American reply to be 4<opractic?L
Hmlt bryond which the amount of
war exports to a belligerent en dan -
rgers the neutrality of a non-bellig
erent. cannot be arbitrarily set.
The ' further contention in the
Austrian note that Congress would,
under the constitution, be Justified
in empowering the President, to re
strict war shipments 1h met with the
statement that the United Stars
feels any changa in its own laws
during the war be an unjustifiable
departure from its policy of strict
neutrality.

"The Ideal woman of the Eugenic

but not fat," said Dr. Read. "Her
complexion will be ruddy or brown,
not pale as that of present day wo
men because the pale skin is a badge
of dsease rather ^han of health.
Present day fashions are advanc

"Women's drees is much more sen
